Where reboots are concerned, the bar is pretty low – audiences have learnt to expect a lack of reverence for the original movies, and potentially even drastic changes in setting and tone. So, when one comes along that feels tangibly in touch with the spirit of its inspiration, it's memorable even if it has some flaws.
That's how I'd describe Jurassic World – it's far from a masterpiece, but by the standards I bring to this sort of project, it stands out for being a fun and well-made movie in its own right. It might not transcend the original Jurassic Park by any means, but I've been defending it for years, and I'll keep doing so now that it's hit Prime Video here in the US.
